You'll walk through a garden of outdoor seating and into a cozy bar/cafe/music venue that, with open fires roaring and booze flowing, feels more like your best friend's living room than a restaurant. That is, until the food arrives. With a heavy emphasis on fresh Kiwi produce, it's an embarrassment of riches with lamb, sirloin steak, fresh fish, spare ribs, cheese, wine, really, I'm not sure why you're still reading and not simply heading here immediately. My only regret is not getting to try the apricot schnapps cheesecake as it was sold out. Welp, I guess I'll just have to head back...

They don't open Sun-Tues so as you can imagine, Wednesday is pretty busy. We found an 'open mic' evening with poetry and music - of very varying quality, it must be said! But a great hipster vibe that brings some evening life to this otherwise pretty dead of an evening town.

Just barely topping(pun intended) Little Caesars who sits at number 2. I'm joking... Little Caesars is terrible. The only reason I eat Little Caesars pizza is because it's hot and ready, $5 and I'm too hungry to wait for Pizza Hut after work. Best pizza ever is extremely high praise, and it's located in a small-ish town at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. It's called dangerous kitchen and I felt dangerous going inside. It was empty, on a weekend! But me and my friends filled the place up. I tried 5 different types of pizzas and I'm convinced there isn't a bad one on the menu! Our selections in order of likeability: smoked salmon, seafood, margherita, dangerous, and henny penny. You can see the menu for details of what's inside. I took a bite of that salmon pizza, I wanted to cry. But I was at a table full of my friends so I had to stay strong. It was like I was tasting food again for the first time. Perfectly baked. Topping ratio was perfect. This pizza was so good on my way back to home me and the friends riding in my car stopped again to take 2 pizzas home LOL. Dangerous kitchen huh?? This pizza must have drugs in it. I'm addicted. If it wasn't an hour and a half drive I would go every weekend! They do more than just pizza, such as brunch items and a small lunch/dinner menu but c'mon.. You go here to eat pizza! They have a bar and live music at night, fun little vibe. Staff is super friendly, they saved a table for us while the pizza cooked so we could walk around main street. Parking on the street. You can call ahead for takeout. Love this place!! I've only given 6 stars a few times but this is that place.

The staff was super-friendly and more than willing to find out the answers to our foodie questions. Check the chalkboard, or ask the owner/chef, and you'll discover the answer to why it's called Plan B. I had an open-faced steak sandwich with fries, and my wife had the chowder. Both were very good - fresh and flavorful. But save room for the desserts: mine was a chocolate brownie with iced cream, hers was an Adult Sundae, both were excellent, but the surprise delight was getting to sample the dessert chef's newest experiment, a mini molten lava chocolate cake sort of thing which was incredible. Who knows what he might be experimenting on when you visit...!
